The Butterfly Challenge Guest DT

A good afternoon to all my friends and followers today, I hope this post finds you all well and enjoying your week. I have some exciting news to share with you!
My post today is to let you know that a new challenge is beginning today over at The Butterfly Challenge and I am delighted to say that I was asked to do a guest DT spot for this challenge as I was a winner in a past challenge. 
When Mrs A emailed to ask me I was completely over the moon and felt very honoured and couldn't wait to start making my card as I just love butterflies and they very often find their way onto my cards.
Mrs A asked me to pick a letter of the alphabet so I chose 'P' (as there's lots of things I use on my cards beginning with that letter!!) and Mrs A told me that it was going to stand for 'Patterned Paper', so..........
for this challenge the theme is going to be Butterfly/s and Patterned Paper

My card is made with some gorgeous papers from Michele R designs called Butterflies and Hummingbirds and I've layered it with Kraft card.
The image is from a Penny Black set I won in a past challenge and I backed it with a fancy Xcut die shape. I embossed a white panel with a butterfly embossing folder I got with a magazine and used a sentiment and tag from the elements pack. I punched some small butterflies using an old punch I got at hobbycraft and have used lots of glitter and pearls and a few kraft paper flowers:


I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday #363 -dies/punches

I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Mrs A for asking me to join her this month, I've really enjoyed taking part.

Well that's all from me for now, thank you so much for stopping by today and for any comments you may wish to leave. 

Have a lovely week and until next time.
